Hello,
Oracle
8.1.7.4 on HP-UX 11i
A week
ago, we replaced 'analyze table ... estimate statistics sample 10 percent' with
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('x', estimate_percent=>10, cascade=>true,
degree=>4, method_opt=>''for all indexed columns size
2')
Performace is good against partitioned tables but not for non-partitioned
tables.
Saw a
note in Metalink that its better to do the above with 'cascade=>false' and
then do a gather_index_stats separately.
In my
tests, I see that 'analyze' makes the CBO use an index while dbms_stats is
making the CBO to use a FTS instead.
Have
you faced any similar issues?
TIA
Prakash
